Speaking

From pain – to pretzels – to purpose, and the beautiful, messy in-between, Anne has a message that resonates with leadership and business events, women’s conferences, universities, non-profits, and churches.

Auntie Anne has a unique story that inspires everyone to overcome themselves so that they can overcome any obstacle. Her journey from an Amish girl with an eighth-grade education to a successful female entrepreneur and founder of Auntie Annes is tainted with the death of a child, abuse, depression, and defeat. But through overcoming, Anne found purpose in the pain and freedom in the process.

Anne inspires leaders to find their purpose in the work they do, using her own real-life experience that chronicles her journey of nearing losing everything, discovering a new purpose, and building Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.

Anne is passionate about encouraging women to live authentically by breaking the silence about their past and embracing a lifestyle of confession. Using her own story as encouragement, she shares her journey to find freedom through confession, which is raw and transparent honesty about the secrets we hide and the trauma we experience.

Whether you’re looking to inspire your business audience with a message of purpose or encourage people to live a life of freedom, Anne has a once-in-a-lifetime story that will inspire, impact, and transform people.

“She couldn’t have done a better job. She wanted to sincerely help us in our purpose and being successful. This was no “act”. Her presentation was exactly what we wanted and needed. I would highly recommend her to others. She was a real winner for us!”
